Villas are nice.

Language knowledge of Staff is very poor. The hotel is under construction which was not announced and they start the work at 8 am!!!! Impossible to sleep, and also the private pool water circulation starts to work at 9 am which is under the bedroom!!! The spa is not ready the treatments are in a simple villa, very expensive and not that good. There is only one restaurant open (instead of the mentioned two) and the menu is very limited, boring after 3 days. No seafood selection, just some fishes! The sea is dirty and unclear. If you don't arrive in time, you have to take the private boat which is more expensive for 20 min like the BKK-Phuket return ticket on business class!!! Simply rip off the money! On the island there is nothing interesting. The staff is not professional, missed the compensations by my complains or just a simple "sorry". For the high price you can find much better!

Enjoyable luxury place for a family or a couple. You will marvel at how much labor was put to make this hotel as beautiful as it is. Speed boat transfer from Phuket was fun. There are few tourists on the island and you can explore how things go on in places which have not been spoiled by tourism.

The hotel is new and the staff is not trained. Nobody knows what to do, who is responsible for. Kitchen and bar work slowly. Every time you ask for something a bit out of ordinary, you get the personnel confused and scared. However, some people at the reception are quite pleasant to deal with. If you order a breakfast to your villa, you will be charged $10 for the delivery (weird, isn't it?).

What to start with... We arrived late evening and it looked quite natural and authentic. We went to the Gala dinner which was good enough but not for 150 euro per person. We woke up the next morning and found out that our "private beach" does not have access to the sea, because it is full of giant stones, rocks and constructing materials. The main beach was terrible- full of broken glass and concrete pieces with nails. The sea itself is quite dirty. There was only one restaurant with very poor menu and the stuff mostly doesn't speak English at all. As being a "SPA resort", the hotel had only one person who does not really much Thai massage and foot massage. As the hotel is not yet finished an has only 19 of 90 rooms, constructing materials could be found everywhere. The second day we found an adult female tarantula on the wall in our room. I am a pet lover, but it is not funny to find that kind of spider near the bed. When we called the reception, they told us it was not possible as they had never seen such spiders. So, we had to sleep on the sofa in the living room. The day after we've found some lizards and male tarantula in our sleeping room and made some photos of him) Finely we were fed up with all our adventures, spent quite time on negotiations and moved to another hotel.
